Letsia Holding Prepares for Institutional Valuation as It Expands Across Key Sectors
Letsia Holding has officially commenced its institutional valuation process as part of a strategic expansion roadmap designed to usher the group into its next phase of growth, governance, and potential entry into capital markets. Preliminary estimates place the group’s value at over AED 400 million, supported by strong operational performance and a diversified presence across high-impact sectors including technology, education, fintech, and entrepreneurship. The group operates through a well-integrated structure of specialized companies, each designed to address key market needs and built under the strategic leadership of its founder and Chairman, Mohamed Rabie Moawad. From the outset, the group has adopted a model that prioritizes synergy between subsidiaries while maintaining focused expertise in each vertical.

With a strong focus on AI integration, automation, and user-centered design, Letsia AI leads the group's digital innovation agenda. Complementing this, the group offers Letsia ERP, a fully integrated enterprise resource planning system made available for free as part of its initiative to support startups. The ERP solution helps early-stage businesses manage their operations effectively—including accounting, HR, inventory, invoicing, and compliance—through a cloud-based, intuitive interface. In the education sector, Letsia EDU operates a private school, a group of vocational training academies, and a children's learning platform focused on AI and coding education. The group has also developed a proprietary programming curriculum for children, currently implemented across several centers and digital platforms. Startup Enablement and Business Acceleration With a firm commitment to innovation, Letsia Youth was established as a dedicated accelerator that supports early-stage ventures, particularly those leveraging artificial intelligence and next-generation technologies. In parallel, Letsia Business provides end-to-end services for entrepreneurs—from business setup and MVP development to feasibility studies, marketing strategy, and operational launch. These efforts form a comprehensive ecosystem to transform ideas into fully-operational ventures. Fintech and Investment Infrastructure In the financial services space, Letsia Pay operates as a licensed payment service provider across eight countries, including the UAE, Egypt, Bahrain, Lebanon, and Sri Lanka. The platform delivers secure payment gateways, multi-currency invoicing systems, settlement services, and API integrations tailored for SMEs and large merchants alike. To address the growing need for early-stage capital access, the group has launched OD Fund—the first digital platform and mobile app in the region dedicated to connecting entrepreneurs directly with investors. The platform offers verified investor profiles, startup showcases, and a streamlined funding request system within a transparent digital environment. Media and Market Intelligence Through its media platform Finance Index, the group delivers economic insights, startup news, and regional market analysis. The platform plays a key role in promoting financial literacy and raising visibility for emerging businesses across the MENA region. Strategic Acquisitions and Future Outlook As part of its forward-looking strategy, Letsia Holding is actively exploring strategic acquisitions, particularly in the education sector in Egypt. Due diligence is currently underway, with formal announcements expected in the coming period. These acquisitions aim to expand the group’s operational footprint and align with its long-term growth ambitions. The institutional valuation marks a defining moment for the group, signaling its readiness to embrace a new level of operational transparency, corporate governance, and investment scalability. This phase of transformation is being led directly by Mohamed Rabie Moawad, who continues to drive the group’s unified vision of building a regional tech powerhouse with global standards and deep local impact.
